Miranda and Prism Enter into Definitive Agreement and Expand Cerro Oro Project

Miranda Gold Corp. ('Miranda') (TSX-V: MAD) and Prism Resources Inc. ('Prism') (NEX:PRS.H) have entered into a definitive agreement (the 'Agreement') for the development of the Cerro Oro, Colombia project, which replaces the agreement in principle announced on January 31, 2013.

Cerro Oro covers approximately 1100 hectares and lies within the prolific Middle Cauca Belt in the Caldas department approximately 120 km south of Medellin. Cerro Oro is 14 km southwest of Marmato deposit and appears to be one of a cluster of epithermal gold systems midway between Solvista′s Caramanta deposit to the north and Seafield and Batero′s Quinchia deposits to the south. Cerro Oro is favorably located in a terrain where other discoveries are prolific and Miranda is excited to explore the area with Prism.

Miranda continues exploration of this 780 sq km area of clustered of deposits and through in house remote sensing has identified several other prospective areas to investigate. On July 2nd when the moratorium on exploration applications was lifted, Miranda was able to add approximately 500 hectares contiguous to the original Cerro Oro application. From reconnaissance these areas are known to contain alteration and gold anomalies and have expanded the target.


Project Details

At Cerro Oro gold-silver mineralization is hosted in sericitic and argillically altered 2-3MA volcanic tuffs and flows of the Combia Formation associated within narrow veins and widespread hematitic fractures zones. Gold has a geochemical association with arsenic, mercury and antimony and generally low or background base metal values. Discreet veining is restricted although inferred late stage quartz-stibnite-gold veins occur locally.

Recently informal miners have developed workings on thin veins of quartz-adularia- pyrite and also excavated local bladed quartz after calcite textures. Adularia and bladed texture is a common feature of the productive parts of low sulfidation gold systems and can be associated with bonanza veins.

Outcrop exposure is limited to creek beds but these exposures suggest alteration and mineralization occurs over two square kilometers. Alteration seems to occur within the damage zone of a northwest-trending structural zone up to 600 meters wide. Notably it is common to recover fine free gold by panning crushed outcrop samples and artisanal miners are locally recovering free gold from in situ sap-rock by small-scale hydraulic mining. Informal miners are also recovering a significant portion of contained gold in veins and fractures from a simple gravity circuit without using chemicals.

Miranda infers Cerro Oro represents a fracture-controlled to disseminated, low-sulfidation epithermal gold system. Ore fluids have apparently flooded the porous Combia tuffs to create a bulk minable target, although high-grade bonanza veins are typical of a low sulfidation system and probably develop as drill targets in less porous rocks under the surface tuff.

Limited reconnaissance mapping and prospecting suggests alteration is zoned from argillic to siliceous alteration with depth and that the alteration cell at Cerro Oro may have a spatial and structural relationship to potassic alteration and porphyry-style mineralization several kilometers away. Twenty surface rock samples returned assay values between 0.120 and 3.3 g Au/t and 28 g Ag/t.

Early exploration work will include prospecting and mapping to define the limits of the mineralized system and identify structural controls. Soil grids will be initiated from areas of artisanal mining to be followed up by trenching to advance drill targets.


Agreement Details

The Agreement with Prism takes effect and is conditional upon the Cerro Oro applications being converted to a license and applicable regulatory and stock exchange approvals. Upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, Prism will reimburse Miranda for all underlying lease payments paid by Miranda and Prism will be obligated to fund exploration related expenditures of US$4,000,000 to earn a 51% interest and through additional funding can earn an additional 19% for a total interest of 70%. The underlying lease agreement on Cerro Oro required payment of a US$10,000 on signing and a subsequent payment of US$80,000 upon conversion of the application to a license. To maintain the lease, annual escalating payments that total $525,000 over five years will be required and thereafter annual payments of $135,000. The project is also subject to a 1.2 % production royalty and a per ounce bonus for measured and indicated NI43-101 compliant resource and reserves.

Data disclosed in this press release, have been reviewed and verified by Miranda′s Vice President of Exploration Joseph Hebert, C.P.G., B.Sc. Geology and Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
